Fenn, F. M. O

lawyer, jurist, was born Nov. 9, 1860, in Fort Bend county, Texas. He attended the Roanoke college, Virginia, and the university of Virginia; and is the holder of the orator's medal from both institutions. He has attained success as an able lawyer of Richmond, Texas, where he has always taken great interest in the public affairs of his county and state. In 1895 he was appointed special judge for Fort Bend county, Tex., by Governor C. A. Culberson; but he declined to serve in that office, preferring to give his large legal practice the benefit of his time and ability.
